Professional, Proactive Service
We recently used Happy Drains and was very pleased with the overall service. From the first point of contact, the process was straightforward and easy to arrange. Although the initial appointment had to be cancelled due to weather and there was some brief confusion around the revised date, the team quickly resolved the issue and prioritised the job. These things can happen, but I was impressed with the proactive communication and the way the situation was dealt with and resolved professionally and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would recommend.

Quality work from Happy Drains.
Excellent service from start to finish with Happy Drains. Would highly recommend the company to others. Quality work carried out on site, was kept informed along the way, work completed to a high standard and was checked and rechecked before leaving site. They even cleared up the broken and damaged drain parts and made area looking good again before leaving. Felt pricing was fair given the work involved and happily paid the bill the same day as felt confident in the workmanship.

Service was great from start to finish. The team arranged to get to me quickly and kept me informed by phone.

Fair set price, no funny business just a great and reliable service.
Brilliant as always. I've used Happy drains on many occasions for my holiday let properties and here is why - they charge a flat fee and never have a problem spending a little extra time if required, they are always professional and arrive on time and with the required equipment and always get the job done. If they can't fix it straight away they are quick with the CCTV to diagnose without charging silly money. They are honest, reliable and that is why I only use happy drains.

#1 in Newton Aycliffe, for CCTV drainage surveys

Second time back, and for good reason
"Second time using Happy Drains. Booked them for a CCTV drain survey following an unsatisfactory experience with another provider; they had originally been engaged when we bought the house and came recommended again through a trade contact. The engineer arrived punctually, was courteous throughout, and walked us through the findings on site. Pricing was fair, an the final invoice matched the quote. The written report and accompanying video footage contained enough detail to understand the condition of the drain runs and scope the remedial work. Will be using them again for the corrective works."
